There are 2 type of juxtaposition.
Juxtaposition(literary), synonymous with contrast, two objects or texts that oppose one another.
Random juxtaposition, two random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity.
The 'Lost' Season 1 was played in the lecture, the juxtaposition literary occur.
For examples:
Success/Failure - In his past, Jack's refusal to give up on Beth in the OR where unsuccessful, but when he refused to give up on Charlie he was successful with CPR. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")
Lucky/Unlucky - Hurley and Walt play backgammon, where Walt is lucky to get the rolls he wanted each time and Hurley is unlucky, getting rolls that caused him to lose. ("All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues")
Help/Hindrance - Charlie's bid to save Claire from Ethan ended up hindering the survivors as it prevented them from getting their answers. ("Homecoming")
Anger/Brokenness - In flashback, Locke is shown very angry and hitting his car. The scene switches to Locke in the jungle, kneeling and crying at the Hatch, seemingly broken. This is a juxtaposition of anger and sadness. ("Deus Ex Machina")
Brokeness/Hope - Directly after the moment described above, a light comes on in the Hatch, reinvigorating Locke's hopes and faith in the Island (and his destiny).
Life/Death - Boone dies at the same time Claire gives birth to Aaron, showing a juxtaposition of life and death with a strong contrast between the two. ("Do No Harm")

Personal Reflection
Juxtaposition make the subject/topic more contrast. So, the subject/topic will become more interesting and able to gain attention from people. This is one of the good way to combined 2 different/opposite ideas or objects together and generate with contrast effect.
